To fuck OFF.

Many examples recently of people appointing themselves thread curator and being rude, annoying and pointy finger ish to other posters who disagree with them.

It annoys me more than it should.

Yup, had to pull all my old police tricks, including "you realise I've seen the cctv, right? So now it's just about whether you are in trouble for the thing, or the thing AND lying to me..... and you know how I feel about that"

Immediate full confession.

OMG. Think you need a promotion for that. The pause and lower voice alone sound terrifying enough!

My main issues of misbehaviour today were all changing-room related, so thankfully not serious enough for me to get involved.

School prom is tonight, but I'm only going for the first hour thank fuck

SmileEachDay · 28/06/2017 19:03

Enjoy the Prom take a hip flask

Hope Sparkling Lad is having a good birthday!

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 28/06/2017 19:26

Just about to head off after a million outfit changes with hip flask loaded

Hopefully the kids will be able to reflect on what they've learnt in PSHE and drink nothing but orange squash!

EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck · 28/06/2017 19:45

Sorry Jane, my phone seems to enjoy double posting! 😳

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2017 19:53

Just joking Evil I'm in enough trouble around here today Grin

Of course they will Madam, enjoy!

SmileEachDay · 28/06/2017 20:03

Good post policing Jayne

I think you earned a star. Or whatever police people promotions are signified by.

Birthday funs, Sparkling?

I wish I had brought a hip flask to DS's football practice. It's cold.

But I'd have to buy one first. Grin

SmileEachDay · 28/06/2017 20:40

Can I point out to MNHQ that this is a fine example of posters self policing, and being utterly lush.

As y'know, there was concern from HQ.

Peace and love, innit?

What a (short, for me, yet) pleasant evening. Everyone looked amazing and I couldn't believe how grown-up all the leavers looked Shock it made me feel like quite the old lady.

Jane have you been bad?!

Lweji so glad my DS hates all sport except chess which is not a real sport imo

Smile I think we deserve promotions from MNHQ on this one. Peace and lurve Star

SmileEachDay · 28/06/2017 22:15

I have been policing the teacher thread.

Glad the Prom was fun!

JaneJeffer · 28/06/2017 22:19

Apparently so, I can't mention (TAAT) but I got treated to one of these Hmm and thanked for my ridiculous suggestion Grin

SmileEachDay · 28/06/2017 22:23

Love a Hmm Jane

I use that face in real life ALOT.

Want to know which thread. Give us a clue?

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 28/06/2017 22:29

It's about pronunciation in Chat, how it's said or something to that effect.

Lweji · 28/06/2017 22:57

Oh, I forgot:
Thank you @YesMadamDeputySpeaker

Hopefully, I'll be able to police my period to last until after my holiday next week.
No syncronising!

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 28/06/2017 23:30

Ovary policing Lweji Grin

Can you believe we're seven posts away from making 1K? Insanity!

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 28/06/2017 23:31

@SmileEachDay I was on the teacher thread earlier tonight and I thought your first post on it was amazing Star

EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck · 29/06/2017 10:00

Morning! Dropped the DC off, bought DD a spare pair of pyjama shorts for her residential school trip in case they get a bit smelly, in the Sainsbury's café, just had my large caramel latte and my ham and mushroom omelette. ☕🍄😆

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 29/06/2017 10:50

Morning Evil! Sounds lovely. I dropped the DC off at breakfast club, bought petrol, and had three back-to-back phone calls. Now having a brief coffee break before a meeting.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 29/06/2017 14:01

Horrible news today in the Raspberry house. Ordered Pad Thai to buffer the blow.

Am policing a zombie thread. Hoping for success. At least it is a distraction.

Anyone fancy starting up an International sheep rescue service? Travel, happy clients, challenging role.

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 29/06/2017 14:30

Raspberry sweetheart Sad

Hope you're OK. Thread police here for 'unmumsnetty hugs' (bingo cards out!) if needed Flowers

International sheep rescue service - count me in!

JaneJeffer · 29/06/2017 15:05

Hope you're ok Raspberry.

One post left I think!
